Staying at this hotel was a dream, I loved every moment. The staff went out of their way to make sure we were comfortable especially a young man named Jamal, who was polite and friendly, and Gregston another young man working in the jewellery boutique who went completely out of his way to find a white gold and sapphire necklace...

We arrived at Tamarin after a 2 week stay in Royal West Morland for a little hotel comfort. I had previously been to the hotel some 14 years prior and found it to be much improved and a great place to stay. Our room 202 was perfect, overlooking the pool and beach, the staff excellent, and the food great. Special... More

My husband and I spent a week at the Tamarind May 2012. The hotel was beautiful, quiet and elegant. We arrived late at night--- they were electing us, they had reserved a room next door to friends we were meeting there-- and sent up a plate of fruit and cheese because the kitchen had closed. There are numerous pools, a... More

We have stayed at the Tamarind a number of times. The recent refurbishment has been a success. The rooms are spacious, clean and with a nice colour scheme. The ocean view is superb. The staff is professional, helpful and friendly. The food is better than ever and the location is just superb. The Tamarind comes highly recommended.

This was our second visit to Tamarind from 27/4 to 4/5. Once again we have had a fantastic time with the GM Kim leading a great team for whom nothing is to much trouble. The subtle changes since our last visit have made a noticeable change and show a real attention to detail. Continuous fresh towels throughout the day, the... More

We travelled with another family to the Tamarind last week. The facility looks old only at the front entrance but is quite lovely inside and the grounds are meticulously maintained. Room was a junior garden view suite and was perfectly adequate for our family of 4. It was cleaned daily. Pools were clean and well-maintained. Breakfast buffet was better than... More

We stayed at the Tamarind during Easter Holidays 2012. We had a great time. Our junior ocean front suite was lovely with a beautiful view. Our 10 year old son enjoyed every minute in the Flying Fish club and made lots of friends. He loved swimming with the turtles. A special thank you to Kerri and her team. We liked... More

My wife and I stayed as her surprise 65th birthday present to me in March 2012. The service was first class with all employees genuinely eager to help in every way. The accommodation was very comfortable - we upgraded to a suite with great ocean views and balcony. The restaurant on the shore line provided high quality menus and often... More

We have been to lots of good hotels and I was a little worried that I might be dissappointed with a four star, having been to lots of five stars. Honestly, this is in my top 5 of all time! Why? It is not the hotel itself, while nice, it is typical carribbean style and an older property but it... More

We stayed at Tamarind over the 2011/2012 New year period and absoulutely loved the hotel. Position is great - right on the beach with chairs, umbrellas and towels all set up and available. Staff both in... More
